Father's Day is the day of the year to give special thanks to fathers and is celebrated in a variety of ways, most related to gift giving, family dinners or events.

Mrs Dodd's mother died when she was 13, leaving behind six children. His father, Mr. William Smart, grew up alone, parenting and raising six children. Mrs. Dodd is the second eldest and the only girl in the family. The attentiveness of a woman makes her more aware of her father's hard work; Mr. Smart works hard on the farm during the day, and when he comes home at night, he has to do housework and take care of every child. life. After decades of hard work, the children finally grew up. When the children hoped to let Mr. Smart enjoy his old age, Mr. Smart fell ill and died due to years of overwork.
Pastor Remas was deeply moved by Mr. Smart's spirit and love. He praised and supported Mrs. Dodd's efforts to promote Father's Day. So Mrs. Dodd began to promote the establishment of the Father's Day movement in the spring of 1910. Soon after receiving the support of various church organizations, she immediately wrote to the mayor and the state government to express her ideas and proposals. With the efforts of Mrs. Dodd, the mayor of Spokane and the governor of Washington state publicly expressed their approval, so Washington state held the world's first Father's Day party on June 19, 1910.
